<p>A telecommunications system includes a network (101); a plurality of endpoints (102a,102b) operably coupled to the network; a gatekeeper and a database engine, typically located in a gatekeeper server (108), for downloading database information such as a corporate directory, to the endpoints. The gatekeeper server and the endpoints further include load monitors (2002) for monitoring device performance. If the load is higher than a threshold, the gatekeeper will not provide a requested database information. The endpoint then requests the information from another endpoint. The network is a VoIP and allows the transmission of voice. <IMAGE></p> |
